shopping with a mobility device

When you go shopping how do you manage? I mean yes you can hang bags off your chair or walker but how do you manage when it is a big ticket item. In other words, it is something too big to attach to your mobility deviceRecently, I went to Target, which is a new store for us here in Canada and bought a small table and then came the challenge of how I was going to carry it home. It was a small folding table and with some extremely creative problem solving on the part of a kind Target employee I was able to wedge the table into my chair to bring it home effectively. Today I was looking to purchase a small appliance and decided against it as I couldn’t figure out how I was going to carry it.

how do you manage shopping for large ticket items when you also use a mobility device?

About lifeofthedifferentlyabled

Laura Forde founded her blog through my eyes: my life with cerebral palsy in December 2009 out of a great need she had, realizing that there was a vast gap in firsthand accounts of what life was like living with Cerebral Palsy: she knew then that the only way to see this reflected online was to create the change herself and thus this blog was born Laura was born four months premature, weighing a mere one pound three ounces and given ten percent odds for survival. She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of three.
After graduating from college, she continued writing and doing what she loves to do most; speaking to groups about her life experiences and sharing what she has learned from her journey.
Her blog lifeofthedifferentlyabled was created after discovering that the online community lacked the voice of people in her situation.
In its first year, the site saw over 20,000 hits from all over the world. Her readers are from all walks of life; some with disabilities, parents of children, professionals, and others who seek to gain a better understanding of the world of the differently abled.
